Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says union officials who break the law should face the full legal consequences, but has refused to cut ties with the CFMEU over alleged thuggish behaviour captured on video.

A video released by News Corp this week showed a CFMEU official swearing repeatedly and threatening to shut down the Parklands Commonwealth Games Village Project on the Gold Coast.

Ms Palaszczuk was questioned about Labor's heavy union affiliation with respect to the video on Wednesday and said everyone had a duty to act respectfully.
